Hyena

I remember the evenings and the moonlight at Africa.

I recall the sunset with the enormous beautiful solar disc increased with the deflection/refraction. I remind the amazing moonrise and the huge lunar disc!!

I call to my mind the wonderful fireflies. When I caught them its stuff, crushed in my hands, continued its glowing! They were wonderful!

And I recollect the chats between me and my mates about hyenas. We used to say they were scavengers and very dirty, repulsive, repugnant!

But we used to tell other things like: they were thieves, robbers, burglars.

We declared, then, its loud laughing was terrible. We, boys, we always shuddered at these animals. We had horror of them when imagined: they were surrounding the country villages!! And with its laughter!!!

And we uttered they plundered:

babies!!

Yes babies and children!!
